These are really wonderful to have on hand with your first aid supplies. Being an nurse, I saw how well they worked for stopping a cut from bleeding.They are useful for small cuts or wounds that wont stop bleeding after putting more than 10 minutes of firm pressure on them. For example, I cut the top of my finger after putting up my clothes line. It was not deep or large, at most it was a quarter of an inch in size. I knew it didnt need stitches, but it just kept bleeding no matter how long I put pressure on it. So I cut a square of this material and put it on the cut as directed. The bleeding stopped quickly! Leave it on until the next day or it falls off. You can put a band-aid over it or you can moisten the edges with a wet finger to stay on. Another time, my lip was bleeding after trying to peel dry skin off. This stuff worked beautifully!Caution: this is ONLY for small cuts, not large, deep cuts. It is not meant for those. Always see your healthcare provider or urgent care for a larger, deep wound that need more than home treatment. Also, if you use this and bleeding continues, get help immediately. Or if you slash your finger with a knife go to urgent care!But for the small cuts that dont stop bleeding, these are great!
